Rent a car for $1/day with Thrifty Car Rental

What’s the deal? Thrifty has somehow managed to get an over-abundance of cars in a number of its Florida airport locations — including the Palm Beach International Airport — that the company is hoping this crazy good incentive will get you to help them take care of their problem by driving their cars to other locations for them.

Here’s how it works: rent a car from one of six different Florida airports, then take a road trip to Chicago, Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Kansas City, Louisville or Philadelphia. When you get there, drop the car off at the airport.

Of course, with a deal like this, there are a bunch of stipulations: the maximum rental day is 7 days; if you exceed that, you will be charged $65 a day and a one-way drop fee. The same thing happens if you drop the car at a location different from the designated drop-off location. (Pick-up and drop-off locations are listed here, along with more details.)

Then, of course, is the question of how you get back home once you get to your destination. You can rent another car for the regular rental fee, or fly back home (although, that might negate all the money you saved on this deal).
